European Games 2023

[hckošice 14,930]

Anyone have the info if Eurosport will cover the Games like it did with the OG on the web with multiple streams etc... ?

 

Because a look on our public TV schedule inform me they are going to show only a very few of the games (basically only canoeing and athletics... not even the opening ceremony ffs...) that´s really disappointing

I think EBU has the broadcasting rights, which means that the Games should be free to air in the EU. 

 

I am not entirely sure how EBU will live stream it. I think everything should be live on https://www.eurovisionsports.tv/ , but for now I don't see anything there, so we will see...

According to this from a year ago Eurosport / Discovery do have the rights.

I remember reading that there would be a “dedicated platform” for streaming the Games. Maybe EOC.tv or Olympics.com will come into play?
 

I just hope it’s accessible for users outside the continent. We’re always the ones most excited for this event anyways!

I believe that no matter which company has the broadcasting rights, we will always find our way to watch the competition 😁😁

The return of demonstration sports. Not a bad idea actually, used to like the local colour that sometimes came with them.

 

Ps Orienteering has now been added, and there's a stand along but recognised ESports thing happening.

It's just been announced on the Official facebook who is broadcasting - Eurosport are doing it Europe wide, probably on an Olympics model (we should probably recognise more openly the link between the 5 continental games and the Olympics - it would help those continental games)

In UK BBC also have broadcast rights, which they already have for the European athletics and LEN events, so they'll certainly show something .

same here. rtvs schedule for first days have only athletics, they are not even going to broadcast the Opening Ceremony for example, really disappointed..
